"Master, I see that you are not young anymore. To be honest, hurry up. I see that Miss An is very interested in you," the waiter was still nagging. "Master, you don't know because you have never married. I have a lovely woman at home. Life is comfortable. You see me running around in the store all day long, smiling and earning hard-earned money. No one looks down on me as a waiter. But when I go home, my wife treats me like a treasure and treats me well. She serves me very well. Just for my wife and the two fat sons, I run my legs off. I feel happy. Don't you agree?"
"Yes. Life is good when you have something to strive for." Pang Yi nodded at him and poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Oh my god! You look like a generous person!" The waiter smiled and drank the cup of tea in one gulp, then went back to take care of other guests.
Pang Yi watched him busying around. After watching for a long time, until the tea in the cup had cooled down, he got up and went upstairs.
…
“Boom boom boom!”
Pang Yi stood outside the door and knocked several times. He didn't hear any movement from inside. He was a little anxious. He knew that Xiao An was inside. He stood in front of the door for a while patiently. Finally, he couldn't help it and whispered to the inside: "It's me, open the door for me."
Xiao An sat upright at the table. She must have been too nervous. Her whole body was tense. She stared at the carved door for a long time before she uttered, "What are you doing here?"
Pang Yi stood in front of the door, staring at the carvings on it that read “Bamboo Brings Peace”, and asked in a low voice: “Are you hurt from the fall just now?”
"Who wants you to care?!" Xiao An muttered, thinking of what happened just now, she felt annoyed and embarrassed. She rubbed her hands and whispered to the outside, "Just pretend you didn't see anything, you didn't see anything, you...you just leave quickly."
"I clearly saw it," Pang Yi really couldn't figure out what Xiao An meant, so he had to beg again, "Let me in, and I'll leave when I see that you're okay, okay?"
"I've already told you that there's nothing to do with me anymore. What's there to see?" As she said this, Xiao An's eyes turned red again. She hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes carefully. She had just washed her face, so she didn't want it to ruin her makeup.
"How can you be fine with me?" Pang Yi hooked his finger on the door knocker and knocked on the door gently, while whispering, "Be obedient and open the door for me."
"No, I said I won't bother you anymore, I mean what I said," Xiao An said stubbornly. In fact, her lips were trembling when she said this. The iron knocker knocked on the carved door, and the crisp sound seemed to knock on her heart, making her heart beat, but more of it was sadness. "Pang Yi, I won't bother you anymore, and don't bother me anymore. Please go away, please go away."
Yeah, go ahead.
Don't step into my life again, since we are destined to be on two different paths.
"Just now on the street, I hadn't finished what I was saying," Pang Yi said softly, leaning against the carved door and facing the small gap between the two doors, "Do you want to listen?"
Want to listen?
Don't want to listen?
…
Xiao An held the chair handle tightly, but finally stood up. She walked to the door step by step, leaned on it, then reached out her hand and knocked on the door gently.
"I like being pestered by you," Pang Yi said softly, word by word. The general who had fought in the battlefield for fifteen years told the carved door about his first joy in his life. He felt extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't help but continue, "I don't like you now, I should have liked you before. When we were still on the road, you were always so troublesome. You couldn't do anything and had to pester me. I really felt a headache when I saw you at that time. I have never met such a troublesome person. You don't eat big meat-filled buns, nor pure vegetarian ones. You insist on eating vegetarian buns stuffed with animal oil. Baozi, are you really that hard to serve?" Pang Yi whispered, thinking of the scene when they were on the road, he couldn't help but smile again, "But I thought you were troublesome, but at the same time I served you eagerly, and I ran dozens of miles to get medicine and food for you, just because I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable. At that time, I thought to myself, what did I do wrong in my previous life to have such a bad job in this life, but now I feel that I must have been the most pious monk in my previous life. I don't know how many times I kowtowed to the Buddha and how many scriptures I recited to get such a good job in this life."
